My best friend, sister, and I had a “Lisa Frank Club” in the cedar closet of the basement. It was amazing. Stickers, unicorns, and rainbows. For six year olds, I really can’t imagine something that could be better.
We had the folders, the Trapper Keepers, the pencils, the stuffed animals, and (of course) the stickers. We were obsessed and simply couldn’t get enough.
Guess what? Lisa Frank is real. This video is awesome and I may or may not want to go visit the factory now. That archive is just incredible!!
Were you a fan of Lisa Frank?
xoxo
PS We also had a Lip Smackers club. That was intense collecting. I remember crying when I found out my friend’s mom had thrown out everything when it melted in a closet one summer. (And I was in middle school then… It was such a coming of age moment. I VIVIDLY remember thinking, “I’m not going to be a kid forever. My childhood melted.”)
Yes! Lisa Frank was awesome and all the cool girls always had all of her supplies! They sell them at the Dollar Tree now – and I may or may not have wanted to stock up. ha!
Ohhh man Lisa Frank represents my childhood! I was obsessed. I had all the folders, notebooks, planners, stickers… I could go on for days! So funny that I'm not alone and that others were obsessed too! Am I too old to go to the factory and buy some supplies?! haha -Alex http://www.monstermisa.blogspot.com/
Oh my gosh I was OBSESSED with Lisa frank. Actually I still sort of am. I don't have any Lisa frank stuff anymore but it's so fun to look at, brightly colored dolphins, pink unicorns, puppies and kittens! What more could a first grade girl ask for?!
Haha! I posted about Lisa Frank this past week because for some reason Kate Spade's Fall line reminded me so much of those fast food stickers I used to put on *everything!*
And your childhood melting is totally worth a few tears. My personal favorite was when I found Dr. Pepper Lipsmackers. I was soooo cool 😉
Oh gosh yes! The pencils with the larger than needed erasers? I couldn't even write well with them but had a collection! I just relived my childhood a bit, thank you for that!
This is such a blast from the past! I had so many Lisa Frank pencils, folders, stickers, etc. you could never have enough of Lisa Frank! I also loved Lip Smackers…I think the Dr. Pepper one was my favorite!
I LOVED Lisa Frank when I was a kid. I definitely had everything I could of LF when I was in elementary school.
Also. I don't follow very many blogs, 23 to be exact, and I'm going to be hosting a giveaway sometime next week once my FB page hits 150 likes (it's got 9 to go!), so I wanted to let you know so you could participate since you're one of those. 🙂 I know I'm a "baby blog" but I'm doing my best to get my voice out there! So I just wanted to let you know.
Oh my gosh! I loved Lisa Frank too! I actually just Googled LF not too long ago to see if her products were still being made. I always wanted all of her book bags, and choosing new LF folders was always a highlight in elementary school. : )
PS: I saw your tweet earlier about the horrendous note someone wrote to you, and I couldn't believe it. You are so wonderful and talented. Please don't take that awful note to heart. Keep going, girl!
I LOVE Lisa Frank! I still by the notebooks when I see them — so cute and colorful! My brother's wife Lisa's maiden name was Frank so naturally my friends and I were a little jealous (we were in our early 20s…)
I love this! I actually still have a lot of Lisa Frank stuff…it makes it so much more fun working on grocery lists or menu plans in an unicorn notebook 🙂 On the occasional weekend, friends and I may still bring out a Lisa Frank coloring book or puzzle!
I’m 36 yo and I still love lisa Frank I tearappart the shelves for her coloring books at the dollar tree if there is only one my hm m and I fight over it she is 42 and so she argues I’m older then you so I say she walks away with the book. I say to her back BRAT meany .
It usually takes 10x longer, is way messier, and requires a lot more patience to do things with a three year old toddler… but it’s also kind of magic. (You know, once the cracked eggs are cleaned up from the hardwood floor of course…) 👩🏻🍳 🧑🏼🍳
Christmas came early this year 🎁✨ My mom completely surprised me with her original copy of Entertaining by @marthastewart48 —her very first book! This was on my totally delusional wish list, and I can’t believe she not only still had it but actually gave it to me 🥹. Growing up, my mom was the ultimate “Martha Stewart mom,” making every holiday, party, and little moment feel so magical for my sister and me. Receiving this feels like such a special passing of the torch, and I hope I can carry on even a fraction of the thoughtfulness and creativity she poured into everything for my own children. Feeling so inspired (and emotional!) about this gift. 💕 Can’t wait to sit down and read this! #ChristmasSurprise #EntertainingByMartha #FamilyTraditions @marthastewart

✨ leave a comment with “SKIN” and I’ll send you all the products mentioned here ✨
I turned 35 in September and while I’ve always tried to take good care of my skin I wanted to really prioritize skincare from the inside out. At this point, I’m not doing any kind of injectables (not that I’m against them broadly speaking btw... just sharing that I haven’t done anything) and I don’t want to do anything invasive. I have made some small adjustments to my everyday life though that has made a difference. In just a few months, I really think my skin has never looked better (and I include infancy here because I unfortunately had baby acne ) and I’m really feeling good:
– Fresh washcloths after cleansing skin (@weezietowels “makeup” washcloths are cute, super soft, and very practical) – @omniluxled Omnilux Contour Face (this red light therapy mask has CHANGED the game for my skin. I use it 3-4x a week and it only takes 10 minutes per session!) – @jolieskinco filtered showerhead (I’ve noticed a difference in both my skin AND hair) – @ritual HyaCera (one capsule every night– it works from the inside out to help reduce the appearance of fine lines)
While I think my skin looks great on its own right now (🙌🏻 love to say that!), it also is serving as the best base for makeup. Sharing my current everyday routine: – @supergoop Mineral Unseen Sunscreen – @summerfridays Sheer Skin Tint (shade 1) – @merit Bronze Balm Sheer Sculpting Bronzer (shade clay) – @saiebeauty Dew Blush Liquid Cream (shade chilly) – @jonesroadbeauty Shimmer Face Oil (shade cool rose) – @sephora collection Eyebrow Gel (shade ebony) – @honest Extreme Length Mascara – @urbandecaycosmetics 24/7 Glide On Eyeliner (shade demolition) – @iliabeauty Balmy Lip Tint (shade lullaby)
girlhood 🫶🏻 find friends who want to do the same little hobbies as you! Went over to @shihstitches’ house yesterday to give her some sourdough starter and go through the basics (I’m *very much* a beginner so I told her to take my lesson with a grain of salt)
PS convinced her to make an IG account! @blueskyehouse
PPS she’s convincing me I really do need a fancy range like her ✨ stunning ✨ @lacanche.usa
Just a girl searching for the perfect digital planner solution. What I have right now is working, technically speaking, but I’m working across platforms and ideally I’d love everything to be in one place. I also have calendar synesthesia (IYKYK) and I physically feel myself in space moving through my calendar, which makes finding a planner difficult because I want/need it to match up with what I see in my head I know this sounds insane but if you also “see” time, you know what I mean!
Right now I’m using: – Google Sheets to track campaigns/business line items – Google docs for writing/brainstorming – Google/Apple Calendars (somehow they’re integrated and I don’t ask questions because it just works...) – Apple Notes for daily to-dos, random note keeping, and quick jot downs – Apple Reminders for “must dos” esp w/ deadlines – Dropbox for photo/file storage
I’m craving a good ole fashioned paper planner but the reality is that I need it to be digital. I need it to integrate with my calendar and remind me of tasks. I need to be able to access it on my computer when I’m working at my desk and on my phone when I’m on the go. I need structure and flexibility?
Does the perfect digital planner exist?! Do I need to overcome my overwhelm and tackle @notionhq? Is an @apple iPad the solution? Do I just keep doing what I’m doing because it’s technically working?
If you’ve stuck around to the end, I appreciate you 🫡
Yes! Lisa Frank was awesome and all the cool girls always had all of her supplies! They sell them at the Dollar Tree now – and I may or may not have wanted to stock up. ha!
I loved Lisa Frank when I was a kid! I actually still have one of the binders that I keep my old scripts in!

Wow I forgot all about Lisa Frank. Yeah, I had everything. I'm pretty sure I had a LF backpack and lunchbox too.
Well, I never really doubted Lisa's existence. She will always be in my heart…my heart that is so pink and filled with dolphins and pandas.
Your Friend, Jess
Oh my gosh! Yes, I remember this. I literally had everything Lisa Frank when I growing up. I loved the color books.
Oh gosh yes! The pencils with the larger than needed erasers? I couldn't even write well with them but had a collection! I just relived my childhood a bit, thank you for that!
This post hit me right in the childhood. I had Lisa Frank folders for all of my classes and I believe a pencil case and notebook!

I used to love Lisa Frank! I begged my mother over and over again to buy me the Trapper Keeper but she never did.
Still love Lip Smackers. Look at my latest post. 🙂
Ah I forgot about Lisa Frank!!
This totally made my day!! I was such a huge fan in elementary school. Love it!!
